Tesla Insiders Admit Self-Driving Is a Complete Disaster

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
No. Lots of people bought them before it became public known what a shitshow Musk is. They bought them because they wanted to limit their environmental impact, the cars were fairly cheap (with the tax credit), and they had a new tech cool factor.
Now their valuation is in flux and people don't want to buy them for multiple reasons including all the bad shit you listed, but let's be real here, they can't sell it for an equivalent vehicle and a lot of people don't have the money to go without transportation for work or school to make a political statement.
If you buy a Tesla now? Yeah. I'd agree you're cosigning all that bad shit. But there's lot of people still driving them who can't afford to just buy another vehicle who didn't know and aren't doing that.
